I do not want a fill in app. ### 1/5 — New books ever? *2025-04-17, version 2.5.4* I just bought the premium and there are no new books. None have been added for six years! Of course no refunds total waste of money to upgrade 🤨 ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-01-26, version 2.5.4* Its so bad you can't use A Apple Pencil when you draw ### 5/5 — Few complaints about this game *2024-05-27, version 2.5.4* Why do you have to buy most of the books 📕 with your own money?💵But there is no ads Which is a good thing. Sincerely, Bri ### 1/5 — Horrible!!! *2023-12-27, version 2.5.4* They tried charging my account without me knowing and locked up my account!! Apple support didn’t help at all!! ### 4/5 — Love it! But- *2023-11-09* I love it however over time you start to notice your work sheet pixilating with other colors here and there. If that were fixed it’d be absolutely perfect. ### 1/5 — Please help!!! *2023-09-20, version 2.5.4* Please help!!! I just got a 1-year subscription to Colorest. It said I could use my Apple Pencil. But I can't figure out how. I have the pencil fully charged. I have Bluetooth open and it says my Apple Pencil is connected. But when I open the app, it says "Pencil Disconnected." There is a long list showing how to use tools, but I see nothing that tells me how to get my Pencil "connected." This looks like a great app, but I don't color with fills. If I can't use my Apple Pencil, I don't want the application. If anyone sees this (hopefully the developer, but anyone tha-t can tell me how to fix this, please let me know. I'll change my 🌟 rating from 1 to 5, if I get help. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Writing a book is a great idea. *2023-09-10* This app is so fun and easygoing. ### 5/5 — とても楽しいです！👍✨ *2022-08-08* どうも！私はお絵描きも塗り絵もする人です！ 私はチュートリアルを見なくてもわかるような分かりやすさで安心しました。(個人的に) 色を重ねれたりできることが個人的にびっくりしました笑😂 ### 5/5 — とても良いアプリです *2021-11-01* 既存の画材でも楽しめますが 課金して買う買い取りのキラキラ色鉛筆を買いました 絵の種類は少なく感じますが、色鉛筆の種類を増やして 楽しみながら遊んでます 定期購入のやつはiPadの本体のAppleIDのから解約できるので 説明を一読してから購入するのをお勧めします とても楽しく遊ばして貰ってます 出来れば、絵の種類を増やして欲しいですm(__)m ## Frequently asked questions about Colorest ### What can I do with Colorest?
